  • Descrição: Objective To investigate whether sociodemographic factors were associated with continuing tobacco use in a nationwide Nigerian sample. Method The World Mental Health Survey Schedule was used to interview 6752 Community dwelling participants 18 years and over, selected in a complex multistage sampling from the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Ever and current smokers were identified with their sociodemographic characteristics. Results About 17% (1137/6752) of the participants were ever smokers, 24.8% of whom were current smokers. Participants who completed primary school, had some College education, were never married, or students were more likely to continue using smoke once they commenced its use. Being in the older age group or having had graduate college education was associated with much less likelihood of continuing to use tobacco among ever smokers. Conclusion In general, tobacco smoking rate in Nigeria is lower compared to most developed countries. Younger participants, having some education, those who were never married were more likely to continue tobacco smoking. Determinants of factors associated with continuing tobacco use should be adequately investigated to permit appropriate interventions.
